Nearly 20 years later, genetic genealogy helps ID Hurricane Katrina victim
SUMMARY: A week after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the body of an unidentified Black female aged 50-59 was found in St. Martin, Mississippi. Known as “Jane (Love),” she remained unidentified despite efforts by authorities. In 2024, using techniques from Othram, a genetic genealogy company, the woman was finally identified as Tonette Waltman Jackson, a victim of the hurricane's floodwaters. Her husband, Hardy Jackson, survived by holding onto a tree after being unable to save Tonette, who asked him to care for their family before being swept away. This identification is one of many facilitated by Othram's technology, with funding from philanthropist Carla Davis.
